Ya know, Dr. J, I was thinking (and we all know how dangerous THAT can be, lol), and I wanted to say that you can really improve a bivouac site or homestead by developing the outdoor area. What I mean is that you can add a deck or paver pad, build (or buy) a fire ring, set up a BBQ on its own paver pad in a good location, add a picnic bench or table (the ready-made DIY kits aren't that expensive), and generally increase your immediate outdoor living area for maximum enjoyment. You can also buy those shade canopies for camping... some of the larger ones are made for outdoor events, but they work great for homestead use, and you can anchor them with long tent pegs or stakes so they hold up to high winds. Guy lines of utility rope tied to nearby trees offer additional support, plus a handy place to hang laundry, wet towels, whatever. A couple of folding camp chairs are nice to have handy, you can always store 'em when they're not in use. All these things can make life so much easier, ya know? Wooden pallets are good for outdoor shower "floors"---also for storing things above ground to avoid the mud when it rains, and to reduce bug infestation. Little things like this can make life so much easier, even when you're "roughing it" in an RV, lol. Before I bought this place, I lived out of a tent (with 3 cats) for 109 days in Whetstone, AZ, and in retrospect, it wasn't that bad, lol... of course, I had firewood delivered by the truckload, as a nice campfire makes all the difference when you're in the field.
P.S. Not all camp chairs are created equal, I like the oversized kind, wide and comfortable, where a person can sit upright and not sink into a hole. Easier to drink beer (or eat BBQ) while sitting upright, lol. Here's a shot of one of my camp chairs, they're quite comfy and each has a side table, plus a canvas "organizer" on the opposite side where a person can store gear and whatnot. Well-designed field gear is important to me, lol... if I'm gonna chillax outdoors, I want maximum comfort, aye? Here are the pics... don't mind the cat toys!
